PokerStars UK migrated all player accounts to Betfair on October 7, consolidating operations under Betfair's platform. The transition addressed login credentials, account balances, and the loyalty program structure.
Player logins transferred directly to Betfair accounts. Each PokerStars UK player received a matching Betfair account using their existing username and password, streamlining access during the migration.
Account balances converted to cash and remained available in full. Players found their funds immediately accessible on the Betfair platform without reduction or delay.
The Stack+ loyalty program adapted to the new structure. Stack+ continues operating on Betfair, offering rakeback rewards up to 25% for active players. Rakeback accumulates based on play volume and tier status within the program, incentivizing continued participation in the merged platform.
The migration consolidated PokerStars UK's presence with Betfair's broader offerings, combining two established poker player bases. Rakeback structures under Stack+ reward consistent play, with higher tiers unlocking greater percentage returns on rake generated during cash games and tournaments.
Players maintained full account access following the October 7 cutover. No separate account creation or balance verification was required for existing PokerStars UK members. The transition preserved player progress, account history, and loyalty program status under the unified Betfair ecosystem.
Stack+ rakeback calculations reflect individual player performance and loyalty tier. The program's up-to-25% rakeback ceiling represents the maximum available return, with most players earning rates scaled to their activity level and time on platform.
